Anyone else having problems with the mouseover on "Log off' and "shutdown"? Also, in the screenshot it says "Turn off computer". On my computer it says "shut down"... This must be why.

Edit: I have the classic logon screen. So it must be a bug?

:(

Update: Altered Start menu to allow for the text length changing. Unfortunately this means losing the 'buttons' on the lower pane and replacing them with icons.

The download on dA is still the old version...

Anyway: Thanks for this very, very good visual style. I really appreciate it!

The text will read "Turn off computer" if you don't log into a domain. I assume you're buggering around with your work computer? I do it, too. So far IT hasn't gotten mad at me... :D

Text reads "shut down" for a classic logon no matter what, since I don't have a domain at home. Maybe because i turned fast user switch off

I AM using this VS at work though, and it confuses the heck out of IT folks logging in remotely (like one did today to troubleshoot an issue I had). They're like, uh u got Vista on here!!

I hate working on generic Windows tho! :o

Thx hornett for the update.

That is why the traditional start button is there! ;)

As for the max button, not sure why that is. Thanks for the report. Which app is that?

App is Photoshop. Those windows are the toolbar type windows. The max doesnt show properly and also it's obvious in the black one... when focus is taken away from the windows, the X button still looks like it would on a focussed window. There probably just needs to be new resources for the toolbar type windows for the Max and the X buttons... i am not that knowledgeable :|

You could probably just make those look like the styles pane in word 2k7

Those are the size 6 glyphs for the buttons. You shift the normal sized buttons and that glyph moves as well. Only the small close button is independent. Most likely you need to undo shifting of your buttons, the glyph will return to its place.

And nice work :)

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
